“When I was a student at BMHS, I had teachers who could have just taught their classes and graded papers, but instead, they invested in me at a time in my life when this was so important. So, to put it simply, I became a teacher because I had great teachers.”

Sierra Evans ’10 English Teacher

TAKE THE LEAD

Make an impact on campus or share your passions with local, national or global community organizations. You are invited to tap into your talents and empower yourself and your school.

LINK CREW

Incoming freshmen are teamed with trained upperclassmen leaders to ease the transition into high school. The program kicks off with a lively orientation, and includes activities throughout the year to equip students with the tools to aid in their success.

“I decided to be a Link Crew leader because when I was coming into Bishop as a freshman, my Link Crew leaders really helped me acclimate to the high school environment. They made me feel so comfortable and welcome, and I want to do the same for someone else.”

FAITH IN ACTION

At Bishop Montgomery, a Catholic education reaches far beyond four classroom walls. We are a community of faith, rooted in Christian love and service embracing Gospel values –faith-filled fellowship, commitment, dedication, unconditional support, mutual respect, appreciation and validation. Students actively participate in daily morning prayer in our chapel, weekly Examen self-reflection prayer, monthly all-school Masses, retreat experiences for all grade levels, and year-round on- and off-campus community service projects.

“Being a Kairos leader is really special because it allows me to engage with my class and to share my experiences on the retreat; to understand God’s power and how He can really work miracles.”

Lawson Kramer ’24 Campus Ministry Leader
